hi all,
i am just posting a question that has been in my mind for a while.
to me, it looks like 64-bit computing has caught up very well. even
smaller processors like atom supports 64-bit instruction set.
on the contrary, while plan9 supported 32-bit processors ahead of
other OSes, it is yet to
ppc64 and amd64 support exists. the ppc64 port is partial and is
available publically. It is my understanding that the amd64 is
partial and available to those who ask. Things which are missing are
devices and other bits to make it actually useful, but the core
changes for 64-bit support are in
I've consumed the Kool-Aid and now believe that ARM is the proper
future for Plan 9. With Gumstix, you can get USB, DVI, audio, storage,
ethernet, wifi, 3G, all in one tiny little box, for under $200, and
with increasingly improving Plan 9 support (certainly better than
amd64, which I used--it was
Plan 9'on ARM makes a lot of sense to me. I still think x86 is
worthwhile though.
